DESCRIPTION:
Sluice Gate (FM-1361.2)
Radial gates are movable control structures. The water flows under the gate. The core element of a radial gate is a wall with the shape of a segment of a circle. The gate causes backwater in the flume.
Radial gates are often used in combination with a fixed control structure, e.g. a broad-crested weir. These combinations are typical forbarrages. With them the discharge in the open channel can be adjusted and controlled according to the needs.
